well if you didn't love me  
            D
wish you of told me 
                         G
then I would even let it throw me 
                             D
when we got down to new york city 
                         G
we got down to the nitty gritty 
                                D
well I didn't mean to bring you down now 
                         G
well I guess I got to be myself now 
                             D
cause I sure can't be nobody else now 
                                    G
yeah they say that I'm A millionaire now 
                                D
well ya told me just outside of austin 
                             G
that you'd stick with me til boston 
                           D
when a movie star from the city 
                      G
he took away my nitty gritty
